Interior of the Silver Arcade

Silver Arcade is a Grade II listed building in the centre of Leicester, England. A former shopping arcade, Silver Arcade was built by Amos Hall in 1889. The top floor was closed off in 2000, leaving the units on the ground floor occupied by a number of independent retailers. In 2008, the centre was the focus of a campaign by the Leicester Civic Society to reopen it.[1]

In 2010, plans were announced to reopen the top floors.[2] Later plans in 2019 were announced to convert two floors of the building into office space.[3]
